I think there is a negative gravity shield that is built in to sofas. They are impossible to break free from.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Ah, that explains why I have spent most of the weekend on the sofa and could never force myself to grade papers. Instead I have been on the computer and reading a book.
Darn the law of sofa...

Do not forget the Law of the Comfy Chair.
It draws you in much like the sofa, but allows you a false sense of accomplishment because you are sitting up instead of lying down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus if you're not careful in your comfy chair, before you know it you can have a cat sitting on your lap, and then you're doubly-screwed....

Craigslist ad for a psychic: reading,s by chanel
Location: planet,,earth,universe.???
You'd need a psychic (or a shrink) to figure out just what is going on in this ad. Although my guess would be "drugs."

Yeah if we were playing Family Feud and you guessed drugs I'm pretty sure it'd be the first choice. Coincidently all the other choices would be drugs as well. Heh, go figure.

Hello everybody. I haven't been around since the holidays hit, but I've been missing y'all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just read about the Christmas day fight at Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. My SIL's brother is working there. I would not be at all surprised if he was involved.
The cats and I spent just over 9 hours in the car yesterday and arrived home late last night. They don't seem to be mad at me though. For about three hours this afternoon Gilda was curled up on my chest and Rosie was snuggled up to my feet.
My trip was pretty low key and relaxing. The high point of Christmas Day was playing Twister with my 8 yr old (and 5' tall!) nephew. My brother LEAPT for my camera when I agreed to play that game.

Muppet has been extra-special clingy since I got back from the Catskills. Chumley is pretty much his neurotic self (he's convinced that we'll send him back to The Shelter if he screws up enough).
Is this a normal work-day for any Buffistas?
It's not for me, but I make up for it by starting a 3 course schedule at my school. On paper, it makes all kind of sense, but I'll have 11 hour days (with breaks for lunch and supper) on Mondays and Wednesdays... yeek.
